Iโ€™d do better with just making such people laughing stocks and pariahs. I feel like criminalizing the behaviour gives it an aura of legitimacy and power it doesnโ€™t deserve.

The US isn't doing so hot by just making the fascists "a laughing stock". More severe consequences are needed. However, there's MUCH more misinformation they need to target than just this.

It's not merely because it's disinformation. It is an attempt to harm a recognizable [protected] class of people.

Those are the same thing. All modern disinformation has some political end involving oppressing minorities.
